In 1917, these cultural items were

removed from a grave located southwest

of New Albany, MS by Mr. Will Ticer.

Mr. Ticer donated these items to the

Mississippi State Geological Survey in

1923. The Geological Survey Collection

eventually became part of the

Anthropology Museum collections at

the University of Mississippi.

Based on the cultural items, the burial

from which they were removed has been

determined to be Native American. The

prescence of the 1801 Jefferson Peace

Medal indicates the burial dates to the

first quarter of the nineteenth century,

before Removal. This area of

northeastern Mississippi from which the

cultural items were recovered during

this period was occupied and controlled

by the present day tribe now known as

the Chickasaw Nation. These cultural

items are consistent with present burial

practices and ethnographic accounts

detailing historic-period Chickasaw

burial practices.

Officials of the Department of

Sociology and Anthropology, University

of Mississippi have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(2)(ii), these

1,340 cultural items are reasonably

believed to have been placed with or

near individual human remains at the

time of death or later as part of the death

rite or ceremony and are believed, by a

preponderance of the evidence, to have

been removed from a specific burial site

of an Native American individual.

Officials of the Department of Sociology

and Anthropology, University of

Mississippi have also determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these items and the Chickasaw Nation.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Chickasaw Nation.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these objects should

contact Jay Johnson, Department of

Sociology and Anthropology, University

of Mississippi, Oxford, MS 38677

telephone (601) 232-7339 before August

13, 1998. Repatriation of these objects to

the Chickasaw Nation may begin after

that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Dated: June 29, 1998.

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items From Taunton, MA in the

Possession of the Robbins Museum of

Archaeology, Middleboro, MA

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 43 CFR 10.10 (a)(3), of

the intent to repatriate cultural items

from Taunton, MA in the possession of

the Robbins Museum of Archaeology,

Middleboro, MA which meet the

definition of ‘‘unassociated funerary

objects’’ under Section 2 of the Act. The cultural items consist of a small

castellated pot and a copper or brass

sheet metal spoon. In 1952, Maurice Robbins removed

these cultural items from a burial at the

Wampanucket site, Taunton and

Lakeville, MA. In 1985, Mr. Robbins

donated these items to the Robbins

Museum of Archaeology. Based on continuities of material

culture and manner of interments, the

Wampanucket site has been identified

as a Wampanoag cemetery area used

from the early Woodland period into the

early postcontact period. Consultation

with representatives of the Wampanoag

Repatriation Confederacy indicate these

cultural items are consistent with

traditional Wampanoag burial practices. Officials of the Robbins Museum of

Archaeology have determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(2)(ii), these

two cultural items are reasonably

believed to have been placed with or

near individual human remains at the

time of death or later as part of the death

rite or ceremony and are believed, by a

preponderance of the evidence, to have

been removed from a specific burial site

of an Native American individual.

Officials of the Robbins Museum of

Archaeology have also determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these items and the Wampanoag

Repatriation Confederacy on behalf of

the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head

(Aquinnah). This notice has been sent to officials

of the Wampanoag Repatriation

Confederacy on behalf of the

Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head

(Aquinnah). Representatives of any

other Indian tribe that believes itself to

be culturally affiliated with these

objects should contact John Pretola, c/o

Robbins Museum of Archaeology, P.O.

Box 700, Middleboro, MA 2346099005;

telephone (508) 947099005 before

August 13, 1998. Repatriation of these

objects to the Wampanoag Repatriation

Confederacy on behalf of the

Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head

(Aquinnah) may begin after that date if

no additional claimants come forward.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural

Items from San Diego County, CA in

the Possession of the San Diego

Historical Society, San Diego, CA

AGENCY: National Park Service

ACTION: Notice

Notice is hereby given under the

Native American Graves Protection and

Repatriation Act, 43 CFR 10.10 (a)(3), of

the intent to repatriate cultural items

from San Diego County, CA in the

possession of the San Diego Historical

Society, San Diego, CA which meet the

definition of ‘‘sacred object’’ under

Section 2 of the Act.

The seven cultural items consist of

one clay tube pipe (San Diego County

Indian type), one dark brown ceramic

pipe (San Diego County Indian type),

one ceramic tube pipe (San Diego

County Indian type), one ceramic

‘‘elbow’’ pipe (Sand Diego County

Indian type), three steatite tube pipes,

and one healing tube (San Diego Indian

type).

In 1945, a healing tube was donated

to the San Diego Historical Society by

(?) Kimball. At an unknown date, the

ceramic tube pipe was made by Julio

Artega, and there is no other accession

information. At an unknown date, three

steatite tube pipes were found at

Potrero, and there is no other accession

information, but are noted in museum

records as ‘‘Chumash’’ pipes. At an

unknown date, a dark brown ceramic

pipe was donated to the San Diego

Historical Society. At an unknown date,

a gray clay ‘‘elbow’’ pipe was donated

to the San Diego Historical Society.

Although museum records state three

of these cultural items are Chumash in

origin, representatives of the Pechanga

Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the

Pechanga Reservation state that the

appearance of all of these cultural items
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 134 /Tuesday, July 14, 1998 / Notices 37907

appear to be of a Luiseno style, and have

presented additional anthropological

sources on Southern Californian Indian

material culture. The Potrero site is a

known sacred and ceremonial site used

by the Pechanga Band, and the San

Diego Historical Society has concluded

the pipes from the Potrero site were misidentified as Chumash and are of

Luiseno or Pechanga origin.

Consultation with representatives of the

Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission

Indians of the Pechanga Reservation

also indicates these items are needed by

traditional religious leaders for the

practice of traditional Native American

religion by present-day adherents.

Officials of the San Diego Historical

Society have determined that, pursuant

to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(3), these seven

cultural items are specific ceremonial

objects needed by traditional Native

American religious leaders for the

practice of traditional Native American

religions by their present-day adherents.

Officials of the San Diego Historical

Society have also determined that,

pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a

relationship of shared group identity

which can be reasonably traced between

these items and the Pechanga Band of

Luiseno Mission Indians of the

Pechanga Reservation.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno

Mission Indians of the Pechanga

Reservation, Barona Group of the

Capitan Grande Band of Mission

Indians, Campo Band of Mission

Indians, Capitan Grande Band of

Mission Indians, Cuapaipe Band of

Mission Indians, Inaja Band of Mission

Pauma Band of Mission Indians, Rincon

Band of Mission Indians, San Pasqual

Band of Mission Indians, Santa Ysabel

Band of Mission Indians, Sycuan Band

of Mission Indians, and Viejas Band of

Mission Indians. Representatives of any

other Indian tribe that believes itself to

be culturally affiliated with these

objects should contact Tammie Bennett,

Registrar, San Diego Historical Society,

P. O. Box 81825, San Diego, CA 92138;

telephone (619) 232–6203, ext. 120, fax

(619) 232–6297 before August 13, 1998.

Repatriation of these objects to the

Indians of the Pechanga Reservation

may begin after that date if no

additional claimants come forward.

[Docket No. ICR–98–12]

Construction Posting Requirements—

Emergency Numbers and Floor Load

Limits; Information Collection

Requirements

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health

Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice; opportunity for public

comment.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and information collection

burdens, is conducting a preclearance

consultation program to provide the

general public and Federal agencies

with an opportunity to comment on

both current and proposed collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program

helps to ensure that reporting burden

(time and financial resources) is

minimized, collection materials are

clearly understood, impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

accurately assessed, and requested data

can be provided in the desired format.

Currently, the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration is soliciting

comments concerning the collection of

information requirements in § 1926.50(f)

and § 1926.250(a)(2).

The Agency is particularly interested

in comments that:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of OSHA’s

responsibilities, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including the use of

appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology (for example,

permitting electronic submissions of

responses).

DATES: Written Comments must be

submitted on or before September 14,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments are to be

submitted to the Docket Office, Docket

ICR–98–12, U.S. Department of Labor,

Room N–2625, 200 Constitution

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210,
